Extract text from Log and texture files (LGT)
To convert LGT Logs and textures to another format, you need Vivo AFtool or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Logs and Game Settings" file type, you need software like Vivo AFtool or a similar tool.
The .LGT file format serves multiple, completely unrelated purposes depending on the software that created it. Most commonly, it acts as an application downloader log file generated by the Vivo AFtool, a utility used for flashing firmware onto mobile devices. Alternatively, .LGT files function as proprietary game assets. They store texture data for Serious Sam by Croteam (often structured as a modified Truevision Targa graphic), or environmental lighting presets for classic PC games like Age of Mythology and Neverwinter Nights.
The primary disadvantage of the .LGT format is its severe fragmentation. Because multiple programs use the exact same extension for entirely different data types, your operating system will rarely know which software to launch. Game-specific .LGT files are closed, proprietary formats tied to legacy game engines. Standard image viewers and text editors cannot parse them natively, resulting in software crashes or garbled, unreadable text.
If you are dealing with an AFtool log or a game lighting configuration file, your best conversion target is a standard text format like TXT. This allows you to read and safely edit the raw data. For Serious Sam texture files, converting to PNG or JPG makes the graphics usable in modern editing software, though engine-specific rendering metadata will be lost during the process.
Because of these conflicting use cases, this file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert blindly. Standard online converters almost always fail to process it because they cannot guess the correct underlying structure. Just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the true format, view its internal structure, and convert it if a supported data type is detected.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LGT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted LGO, MOT and LS files.
If you want to convert LGT file to OBJ, FBX, DAE, 3DS, MAX, BLEND, MA, MB, C4D, STL, PLY or WRL, you can use Vivo AFtool or similar software from the "Log and Game Asset Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to LGT, try Vivo AFtool or another comparable tool in the "Log and Game Asset Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LGT converter.
